About
Det Kongelige Teater's Christmas ballet: George Balanchine's 1954 version of The Nutcracker, with Tchaikovsky's score played live and a stage full of child dancers. Marie gets a nutcracker from her godfather, and at midnight it leads her past dangerous mice, dancing snowflakes and waltzing flowers to the Sugar Plum Fairy. Best for kids who can sit still through a classic ballet.
Where it is
Det Kongelige Teater, Gamle Scene
Kongens Nytorv, 1017 København K
